1. Votes "For" and "Against" are expressed as a percentage of votes received. Any proxy appointments which gave the Chairman discretion have been included in the "For" total.

2. A "Vote Withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" or "Against" a resolution.

3. Resolutions 1 to 14 were ordinary resolutions and resolutions 15 to 18 were special resolutions.

   4.     The number of ordinary shares in issue as at 26 October 2021 was 16,189,188. 

Resolution 3 (Approval of the Directors' remuneration report)

The Board notes that, while all resolutions were passed, a substantial minority of votes (31.95%) were cast against Resolution 3, the advisory resolution to approve the Directors' remuneration report. The Remuneration Committee on behalf of the Board consults extensively with shareholders on remuneration and takes their feedback into consideration. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code 2018, the Remuneration Committee will continue to consult shareholders to understand the full reasons for the result and the Company will provide, within 6 months of the 2021 AGM, an update on views received from shareholders and any actions taken.
